Lifts are absolute shit now

Should I basically just start over and go back to starting strength?

>I took a year off from lifting to focus on diet

are you literally retarded?

> but Now I can barely bench two plates for 5 reps.

but your previous best was 225. do you mean one plate on each side (135)?

>I can't lift shit anymore what the fuck happened.

you took a year off of training, dipshit. you're no longer adapted to the weight you were doing.

pick up a linear program and try to readjust. please tell me you're a troll.

Yes I meant one plate on both sides.

What more help do you need?

Did you think you'd magically stay as strong as you used to be after taking an entire fucking year off?

It doesn't work that way. You use it or lose it. You didnt use it, so you lost it. Not to mention you lost weight. Jesus christ.

I don't know why you're having trouble wrapping your mind around this. Eat more, get back to training, and stop shitting up /fit/ with your pointless threads.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. As for your issue, just lower the weight and work your way back up with whatever program you want. If those were your lifts then you know how to get stronger and you should have known that you'll lose strength after a year of not lifting. Duh.
